Little Traffic Things

Wednesday, May 11, 2016

I've been going through a lot of traffic the last couple weeks and I've learned to (not) appreciate the little things.

Are you ever driving through rush hour or just a time when your exit ramp is just backed up to 😱hell?? So you're treading through the left side lane trying to find a time to (politely) cut ✂️ someone off and get in line right?👼🏾 Do you ever kind push it ➡️? . . You see a good chance to get in... . .but you pass it because maybe up ahead there's another opening, thus skipping about 5 to 7 cars? and you get to that 5 or 7 car count.. . . but you keep going because maybe there's an even better chance to go in? And all of a sudden you see the last 🚨🚨🚨🚨warning sign🚨🚨🚨🚨 and you're like 😪 .. . .i fucked up 😩. . . now you're thinking of how you're gonna go another mile forward and you start calculating📇 📐✒️✏️how you can still get to your destination.... but all of a sudden the clouds ⛅️ open up, the sun ☀️ comes out, and there's that ONE car🚗 that gets a late start in hitting the accelerator moving forward⬆️⬆️⬆️ and that perfect Honda🚘 civic 🚘 size 🚘 spot opens up and you sneak in at the last second. . . fun. I do this every single time.🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽🙋🏽

Oooh another fun time, do you ever get that feeling 👀 that the person in the nearby car is giving you a menacingly 👺👺👺 look but you can't really tell because you're looking at them through your rearview mirror, you need to update your contact prescription, they're wearing 😎 sunglasses, they're three lanes over, two 🚙🚙 cars behind. BUT YOU KNOW THEY'RE AFTER YOU, so you speed up a little and just get out their sight before you crash from looking over your shoulder every 5 seconds. I personally have an Arabic script bumper sticker and the Omani national emblem which apparently looks a bit scary 👀. . . .and I live in the South so I'm always on the look out. 🔍🔍

And other times you're driving🚘, minding your business 😊😊 when the car that was in front of you does a sharp jerk (like they're in a hurry) to the left lane. But all of a sudden that left lane slows down and the lane they used to be on (and your on) speeds up and you just have an inkling feeling😐😑😒😶😵👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎🏾👎 that they're gonna swerve back onto your lane and you're just driving (slightly faster as a means of intimidation 😬) whispering to yourself "you bettah not! YOU BETTAH NOT!!!!"

"I knew from the beginning that I have found you to lose you, and I loved you to miss you, we met in a coincidence and we were two arrows with opposite directions, and inevitable were the meeting and the farewell."
